'Kimmie Sue's "LIFE LESSONS"'

👊🏼 "YOU CANNOT REACH FOR ANYTHING NEW - IF - YOUR HANDS ARE FULL OF YESTERDAY'S JUNK‼️" - author unknown ☺️😘🙏🏼 Have you ever ATTEMPTED to, unlock and open, your car 🚗 door, with both of your arms FULL of "STUFF," and, "in the process," DROPPED ALL of the "STUFF"⁉️Well, I have, and, more than once‼️This is an illustration ("if you will") of what happens in one's life, whenever, he/she, obsessively continues to abnormally "dwell upon" the PAST (especially, negative things), which, cannot be RELIVED, REDONE, CHANGED, ETC. He/she, unintentionally, usually, ends up, inadvertently, MESSING UP his/her PRESENT situations, relationships, circumstances, etc....LIFE‼️I, for one, sincerely desire to QUIT repeating this DESTRUCTIVE behavior, in my life in "2020," with the SUPERNATURAL (which, IS what it will take) assistance of My Lord Jesus Christ❣️🙏🏼✝️...I aggravated the "ole bad back," the day before ...

💜👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 "PARENTHOOD, the scariest "HOOD" you'll ever go through!" (t-u - 'Pinterest' / 'Pishposh Baby')❣️Since the day that, I posted November's blog-post, as usual, I've been, thinking and praying, on what subject December's post should be❣️It seems, based on my thoughts and various things, which, have been put "before" me that, it is going to be about "going back" in my life's journey, and, reflecting upon some of the reasons WHY I should have appreciated my parents (both, of whom, are departed), more than I did, whenever, they were living❣️😔 Yesterday, after I voted, as I was on my way to town, right before I drove by the 'park-n-ride, where, I saw my mother for the last time (on earth), LeAnn Rime 's song, 'How Do I Live Without You,' began playing❣️😁😭 I try to listen to Christian music most of the time, but, because, I'm not "SUPERSPIRITUALWOMAN," (hehehe!), sometimes...

✝️🙏🏼💗 "Remember that your MOTIVES are NOT ALWAYS as ALTRUISTIC as they SEEM to yourself!" - Bertrand Russell (The Conquest of Happiness) (Thank you)❣️🖤🙏🏼🦃🍁...I'll be posting this for November,  'Thanksgiving' / "turkey" month, however, as, I begin writing it, it's 5:25 a.m., Wednesday, 10/2/19, and, I'm in a hotel room, in 'Pigeon Forge,' which, is an area that's part of 'The Great Smokey Mountains,' which, has been a favorite place of mine, to visit, since I was a young girl❣️🗻🏔⛰😃🖤 I have lots of fond memories of vacationing here, and, several other places, with my fantastic family, most of whom, have passed on to 'Glory,' since those memories were made❣️💔😔 I really, hope and pray that, I never lose these priceless memories...due to Alzheimer's, Dementia, or something else, of the, countless and tremendous, times, in which, we spent together, enjoying life's celebrations...with all of them❣️Whene...

🖤🌹 (2 TIMOTHY 1:5) 📖🖤 This shall be my October blog - post, but, today, as, I begin writing it, is - Thursday, 9/5/19...and, Momma Anna has been in Heaven, one month, plus, four days❣️💔 'CHARITY' (definition), "in Christian thought, is the HIGHEST form of LOVE, signifying the reciprocal LOVE between GOD and man that is made manifest in UNSELFISH LOVE of one's fellow man. Saint Paul's classical description of CHARITY is found in The Bible's New Testament (1 Corinthians - chapter 13)"❣️✝️ Last week, Marcia, one of my "bffs," asked me how I was doing, and after, I responded with a few sad answers, such as, "I cannot fathom never, seeing nor talking to, her - ever again - while on this earth," etc., suggested that, maybe it would be therapeutic for me to write her a letter, and/or, write to her - on my blog❣️Therefore, considering this to be good advice (thank you - Marcia❣️😘💗), the following part of this blog-post, is going to be in...

🖤😪 GRIEF:  "The irony of GRIEF is that the person you need to talk to about how you've feel is the person that is no longer here"❗️(T-U - musicforgrief.com❣️) 💔 It is 12:47 a.m., 8/5/19 - the first Monday of my life of 55 years, in which, I'll spend - without the presence of my PRECIOUS mother, being, somewhere here (on earth) with me❣️💔 She was a VERY loving, strong, energetic, compassionate, special, ETC., WONDERFUL CHRISTIAN LADY❣️She was a 'PEOPLE PERSON,' which, proved helpful to her during her 55+ year career as a 'cosmetologist,' (retired)❣️She was definitely a "one of a kind" individual (in the GOOD sense)❣️💖 The Good Lord "called her HOME," yesterday evening, while, I was at 'Prayer Meeting,' after, her battle with various health issues, for a few years, especially, after her open heart surgery (almost two years ago)❣️Losing my wonderful mother is proving to be the most painful loss of my life, and, I've ha...

💛🏖🌊 As, I begin writing this post for August, I find myself enjoying our annual family vacation - oceanfront style❣️Whenever, I post this, David and I, shall have (hopefully-😂) already celebrated our 36th. wedding anniversary, which, hits July 24th. (MY, OH MY-😳)‼️My poppa's birthday is August 7❣️"Gracious sakes," HOW I miss that man❣️😪 Just this morning, I blogged my JULY blog-post, in Jesus' name, praying that, God uses it to bless whomever HE so chooses❣️Tomorrow (Tuesday) is the birthday of one of my "BFF'S" (the one that I meantioned in my last post), and, I'm thrilled to report that, we DID get to enjoy a visit, whenever, she came home to our hometown, before, I left for vacation❣️I feel so happy, thankful, and blessed, etc. that, our special friendship remains intact, despite, "slews of," changes and seasons, individually, throughout its forty plus years❣️We can always "pick up right where we left off," as they say❣️...

💜👧🏻⛓👮🏻‍♀️ "NEVER be a PRISONER of your PAST❣️It was just a LESSON, NOT a life  sentence"‼️(T-U 'Pinterest')‼️🙎🏻 First of all, let me give God praise, for helping me get through;  having a little, family, 'Memorial Day' "cookout" here, and, "grand angel," Darius' graduation festivities, etc., the past month - or so, despite my "struggles"❣️Yes, I dealt with some anxiety, dread, and the such, BUT, HE faithfully "GRACED ME THROUGH" ALL of it (the responsibilities, which, were, difficult and/or trying, for me, such as, back pain, and, the other aches that come from it), as HE always does, whenever, I LET HIM❣️PRESENTLY, I need to LET HIM help me get, ready and enjoy, our family vacation❣️Typically, once, I get to our destination, I'm fine, however, I begin dreading the frustrating parts of it (packing, traveling, etc.), usually, the month before we go, which is now❣️Ha❣️🤣 However, that's enough about all ...
